Is this good for practice lap swimming? I need one that is comfortable for long swimming, doesn't leak and doesn't get foggy.

I bought these and they are quite comfortable and doesn't leak. Only issue is that the strap broke in less than 2 month of the use. Straps are hard to find and if at all you find them, they are expensive.

Yes, absolutely. They feel silky, no leaking (once you fit them to your head), no fogging up. You can swim forever with these goggles.

I use these for lap swims, they seem to fog up a little some times but if I take them off and swish the fog with my thumb it doesn't usually fog up again. My swims usually last between 30 and 45 minutes.

I think they're pretty good. I use them for hour-long practices and they're very comfortable and rarely leak. Normally any leak just requires readjusting them once and then they're good the whole practice. As for being foggy, they still fog up as much as my last pair of Speedos, so that would be the only downside. I still feel like they're not quite as foggy as other goggles I've used, though.

Yes... I am a new swimmer, but a mature woman .. I tried longer fins at my pool, but they felt clumsy. These are perfect for me. They help me move through the water, and work a bit harder. I love them. I ready one review about pressure on your arches, which is true. If you have a high arch you need to stretch them a bit. but they are worth the effort. New swimmer

Well, I'm not an advanced swimmer, so I'm not entirely sure, but the shirt is lightweight and the material is good - like a compression shirt, but not thick. I think you could swim laps in it, as surfers wear these when wading out into the ocean. It makes for a good athletic shirt, as well, as I even wore this in the class before my swim class to run a mile for a test. I didn't overheat, and it felt cool and my arms could move freely as I ran.

It's the price for one. I have four and use one each day then wash them in the dishwasher. They don't sweat and liquids stay nicely cold. I've been using the ones I have for over a year and there has been no fogging or leaking. When I originally ordered them one came with some sticky stuff at the bottom I couldn't get out. Amazon was great about accepting the return and sending another glass.

All goggles leak from my experience...the only question is when. Or the lenses get all gooey and filmy and therefore are worthless. So there is a dance between which will fail first. I swim everyday so goggles last me only a month or so. The larger aqua sphere goggles leak the fastest as they have more rubber surface to potentially get exposed to the elements and deteriorate. The smaller goggles, as these are are comparable to Speedos and TYRs

I would stray away from this one. I bought it for long dirt bike rides where you can get extremely exhausted miles away from water. This one leaked since the first time I tried it. It was very cold out and my back was soaked. Also, the nozzle was a big let down. You actually have to open and close it like a pop-up water bottle. My buddy bought a fox brand water pack and has had it for over a year, on multiple rides. He has fallen on it and it has never leaked. His nozzle is also a great design. It is a soft material and all you do is bite it gently and suck. No hands needed. Hope this helps. I would stray away from this one.

Should have a good fit. Don't stand up well to saline swimming pool...start to cloud after 6-8 months of daily use. But the best goggles for comfort ever.

i did 50mins on my exercise bike, sweat was trapped underneath.. it's quite funny, i could see a bubble of water(sweat) so i think if the seal is good, you should be ok swimming

You can use it for lap swimming but should note that the ribbing on teh edge of the sleeves and the legs is a bit tight...even with many uses, I found them tight.

I'm glad you asked. I competed In USS, and later coached High School swimming, water polo, and a USS Swimming team. I bought this unit specifically to do workouts in the pool. It will take some adjusting/playing with the unit, but it will fit snugly and hold in place, under your goggle strap. I wouldn't try diving in with it though. It's amazing what it'll do for your workout intensity!

Comfort mostly if you plan on wearing the fins for more than a few minutes. It also gives you a snug fit otherwise the fins can move a bit when you swim. Also great if the fins are a little big it helps you to fit better.

It is water resistant. It says to do not press button under water maintain residency, it does not say in the manual ok to use for lap swimming. Or h20 resistant at any depth of water. So I would not use it for lap swimming. Good question because originally I was given the impression that I could use it in the pool. Here is Polar's contact info if anyone would like to have it, 800-227-1314 or polarusa.com

This model is not water proof. The newer models are water resistant and would track distance for swimming. I just would not submerge it at any depth. I wear my new version all the time and have not had any issues with water.

I use mine for swimming laps occasionally and it is waterproof so far. I think the jarring from the fall into the water may be a problem, though.

Perfect for swimming lap. I order a wide but a little tight. But works great. Have to take off after a while because it hurts. Order the right size so it fits properly.

I swam with mine in a lap pool. Never leaked but it is reall bulky and you can feel it holding you back on your wrist. when swimming, I used a smaller hr monitor watch for swim because that was all I needed and it wasn't getting in the way.

I use mine for doing laps in the pool in the winter. Even though I am inside sometimes the pool is still a little on the cool side. Keeps me nice am warm. Also I bought the men's shirt because the sleeves are a little longer than the women's and fits a lot of better.
